Before you call

Sandblasting: the short version

Blasting grit, sand or beads at metal to strip rust, paint and scale.

When you need it

  • Rusty trailers, gates and railings
  • Car parts and frames before paint
  • Old paint or powder coat to strip
  • Prep before powder coating

What to send the shop

  • Photos and sizes of the parts
  • What is on it now: rust, paint or powder
  • The metal, if you know it
  • Whether it gets coated after

Typical lead time

Small jobs can be quick. Big parts depend on booth space.

Ask the shop

3 questions worth asking

  1. Q1

    What media do you use for my metal?

  2. Q2

    Do you coat right after blasting, so it doesn't rust?

  3. Q3

    Is there a minimum charge?

Questions

Sandblasting FAQ

What does sandblasting cost in Denver?

Two shops post hourly rates. Mile High Powder Coating charges US$115 an hour, billed by the quarter hour. Dialed Powder Coating in Parker charges US$100 an hour.

How long have blasting shops worked here?

Some for decades. A-1 Metal Stripping in Golden has blasted since 1965 and runs three blasting booths. Fortna Equipment dates from 1962.

Should I coat the metal right after?

Yes. Bare metal rusts fast. Ask if the shop powder coats too, so the part goes straight from blast to coat.

Good to know

  • Hourly rates add up on big rusty parts. Send photos for an estimate first.
  • Ask if the shop can coat the part the same day.
